Connor Hill, a junior transfer, delivered a stellar outing for All-Star Futures, fanning seven batters in four shutout innings while surrendering only two hits and two walks. His fastball and curveball kept left‑handed hitters guessing, and he even escaped a two‑on, two‑out jam in the fourth inning.
The performance came as Hill prepares to join Penn State Brandywine, the university he will attend after two seasons at Delaware County Community College. He expressed excitement about the new academic and athletic environment, noting that the opportunity aligns with his long‑term goals.
A Summer of Growth
Head coach Sean Curran praised Hill’s ability to pound the zone and make mid‑game adjustments, saying the pitcher’s poise under pressure will be a major factor in his upcoming college season.
Second baseman Brandon Dunbar added that Hill’s dominance made the game easier for the entire squad, allowing the team to build an early lead and maintain momentum.
Beyond the mound, Hill contributed an RBI single, underscoring his versatility and willingness to impact the game in multiple ways.
Curran believes Hill’s blend of pitch command, adaptability, and work ethic will translate into strong performances for Penn State Brandywine, and the pitcher remains focused on refining his craft over the summer.
